Tlio following addicss to the | teoplo hns

appointed for that purpose ;
The Western Art Association , to the Pub
lic : You doubtlcs. * have rend of , if not seen
the excellent art collection at the Liningor
gallery , recently opened to the public of
Omulia. The organization of nn art associa
tion In this city comprising aio members for
the purpose of developing n Uisto for nrt w
one of the direct results ot this step. It in
proposed by this organisation that an art
school bo established in this city , wltli n
faculty of such wide repute as to iitnko
Omaha nn nrt center for n wide section of
the west. To do this it Is necessary to
M'curo a greater range of supixirt than the
association can render just for tlio present , nnd
Tbi' this renson a committee of ladies hns beou
npl'oinlcd ' to call upon those whoso tusto nnd
ability we have reason to btMiovo will prompt
them to lend a helping hand tn this inportaut
movement. Tlioeninmitteo in clmrgo desires

to benefit a class or a limited number of resi
dents , but a sincere attempt to imprest * upon
the community at largo thu moral , commer
cial unit us well tl'e intellectual value of an
nrt education laid so broad and deep that
when in lull operation every child glowing
up in Omaha will .spocdny fed its bcnellcient
inlluence , nnd also be a sternly nnd growing
factor In the increasing culture nnd rallno-
inent of the adult population. Wo are called
the "Gate City : " let it be written over the
entrance to our beautiful Oniiilm that hero
the stranger comes into a realm of material
wealth und prosperity converted in part n
least into those liner elements ot life ,
Unit are indispensable toadIgniliednnd nobler
existence , its immediate practical value is ,
however , what wo desire to impress upon
the community at this moment. If wo wish to
understand this promptlylet us simply look at
Franco ; fully ono-hiilf of its commerce or
iginates In its art products ramifying Itself
into every industry. What we want , then , is :
1. The thorough moral backing and activb
co-operation of every well-wisher of the com
munity.
J. Subscriptions enough to definitely insure
the presence here , for tlio time hoing , of two
distinguished instructors nnd artists , ready
to como here and establish an art school .
Mr. Liningcr assures the association not

gentlemen expected to como hero ami organ

city in behalf of this deserving enterprise
will furnibh further details. Their imme
diate aim will bo to secure a
subscription of fifty guaranteed scholarships
at ? 1W each. Certainly the community at
largo can afford this investment under such
extraordinary and favorable auspices , and it
is to bo hoped that all these who have formerly -
morly been so prompt to aid all efforts in be
half of the good of the city in.tho past will
hasten to enroll their names in a movement
which has in it so much of all that will per
petuate the best of all the endeavors and ex

An Indian Topwy.
One of the bright girl pupils of the Indian
school at Genoa contributes the following or
iginal poem to tlio school paper , the Pipe of
Peace. It is entitled "Tho Indian Girl's
Lament. "
Oh ! why am I always so wicked (
I really would like to know ;
I'm bothered , perplexed and worried ,
And know not which way to go.
My teachers try hard to correct me ,
And punish me day alter day ,
Why is it , I wonder , J cannot toll why ,
That this punishing doesn't seem to pay.
From daylight , 'till sundown approaches , *
I find it is always the ame ,
For inio some misehiof or trouble I got :
And somehow I'm always to blame.
Some days I think I'll bo different ,
There's no use for mo try :
For just as I think I am doing so well ,
1 find J'm thu same old 1.
For something comes up to provoke mo ,
From weeping I cannot refrain.
And oil what anguish steals over my heart ,
As I find 1 am punished again !
Then can anyone tell mo what I can doTe
To got out of this tcrnblo whirl *
Can it lie , that the renson I'm always so bad ,
Is because I'm nn Indian girl I

There bus boon a rumor , over which

askuil him if lie really hud lost any
money to the MViiitHorw.
"Do you iiu'iin to toll mo , " ho quietly
responded , "that Wall street ro ard'a
mo as an idiot ? Of course I did not in
vest n dollar in this thing- , and I never
was asked to. "
"A modification of the report is that
it wad your son George who invehtod.
IJow about that Mr. Gould. "
" 1 liuvo a Uirh ( , personal regard for
George , hut I should think of disowning
and 'lisinheriUiif ; him if lie should put
a cent into any enterprise as to which
he couldn't find out all the particulars.
I have been reading tlio accounts of
this miffar fraud , and have marvelled
how folks can bo so liiiaiic.inlly silly as
to lose their money in such transparent
frauds. There IB one rule of safety In
suuh maltorn , nnd I really tliinlc
it oiiK'ht to he published , although it
shouldn't bo noceessary. Never , never ,
never put money into iv venture which
its promoters are not palpably compelled
to capitalize. Now look at this Kriond's
game. He claimed to have a process
li.y which ho could refine sugar at a eost
of SO cents a ton , whereas the method
in general use involved an outlay of
something like $ lli. If ho had really
made sueh a discovery as that he could
have almost a greater fortune than that
of the Aster's , Vanderhllts , and mine
combined by simply setting up a factory
and rotjorvinjr tlio scorot for his own ox-
elusive use , Nobody can multiply his
dollars without taking rinks , of course ,
hut you just tell thu pubic from mo that
any promoter of a block company is u
fraud if he pretends to he selling to lot
others make a fortune which ho might
multuentirely for hiuibolf. That is el
ementary instruction , perhaps , but then
a great many grown-up folUa uro
children.
